subject: Self-develop: Do Not Let Your Anger Destroy Your Career [print this page] Keep your temper! Caterpillar gave a very useful advice to Alice. Use this advice in your career. Do not let your emotions ruin it.
One of the strongest emotions is anger. Sometimes it can help to accumulate all the powers and reach your goals. But very often your anger makes you and people around you frustrated. Thus, you should control your anger whatever post you hold.
Working with people
This type of work can be stressful and make anyone angry (Mother Teresa is an exception). There are several easy steps to defeat or diminish your anger:
1.Make a list of situations or people that make you angry.
2.Analyze each situation or each person from the list. You should be objective and try to find out what exactly causes such a negative reaction.
3.Try to avoid situations which can anger you. The best way is to find the way out, maybe, discuss it with people.
4.And remember that when you are angry you cannot, as the famous Caterpillar said, express yourself. People cannot possibly understand what you are trying to say from your yelling.
Working with machines
When you try to control your anger caused by some objects (computer, for instance, is such an irritating thing!) use the first two steps. And then:
2.If your anger captures you when you are trying to fulfill some project, take a five minutes break. Eat an apple, drink a glass of your favorite juice, or look out of the window. Calm down. Remember that you are a professional and you can do the task easily.
A very effective way to defeat your anger is to recollect how ridiculous angry people are. Imagine a furious red-faced person, shrilling, foaming at the mouth, who is unable to breathe a distinct word out. You do not want to be such a person, dont you?
